Re: bonded ADSL - hey it works!
others can speak for themselves, but my skepticism is that relying on cheap DSL circuits to get a fast speed is no substitute for T-carrier services mostly because the cheap DSL providers have no SLAs and feel no urgency to respond to outage notifications. there are lots of T1 network sales guys around that make their living replacing DSL and cable circuits for frustrated customers. secondary is the disparity between upload and download speeds.
that you can derive a single bandwidth stream from multiple discrete connections seems to imply that you will be adding a hop or two, as your NOC would have to act as some sort of aggregation point to the final destination. if that's close, in the event of a single circuit failure at the user end, does your equipment self correct recognizing it has fewer paths or does the whole thing come down until the bad circuit is restored? do you have some procedure to notify users if one of their circuits has failed? |

| also, aren't there major problems when you try to use DSL or Cable for sharing in an office environment? (regardless of the posted bandwidth from a single user) i mean like after more than a few computers on the network you start to get a serious lag right? not to mention bandwidth caps for heavy file sharing, video, etc.? road runner seems to be toying with the idea of charging for excessive bandwidth usage VS. the unlimited-use business model (although it seems to have created a major consumer backlash at present) |

Cleveland, OH | RR wouldn't touch Business Class connections.
Also cable modem can be just fine for office use. RR and Comcast Work Place has some of the best speeds as far as HSI for the office. |
